British thriller author, Lee Child’s Jack Reacher series of novels have dominated the list of most borrowed library books in Australia and New Zealand this year, according to the 2016 Civica Libraries Index.

Lee Child’s Jack Reacher novels make up one fifth of the top 20 most borrowed books of 2016, while other crime and thriller authors, such as Michael Connelly also made a few appearances. The crime and thriller genre was the most popular to read overall, making up 29 percent of total borrowed books.

While Child’s novels figured prominently on the most borrowed list, the most loaned book is Paula Hawkins’ ‘The Girl On The Train’, a crime and thriller novel published in 2015.
